Eelitnier, Uuderich, librarian Huron County .library Association, told tale third annual Community Life Confer- ence tet Catap Hawley, Port Severn, on October 11. Doane forty Provincial rural leaders attended the conference from October 7 to October 12 to study plans and problems of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, co-uterative hospitaliz- ation, co>operative'technitlues in meet- ing farm problems, rural recreation, rural education, rural libraries, On- tario Yarm Radio forum, and the problems of the small community. The three-week conference is sponsored jointly by,the Community Life 'Training Institute in Sinn:0e county, the Uni versifies' Adult Education Board of Ontario and the Sirncoe County Feder- ation of Agriculture. "Last year I packed a box of books and sent it to the annual meeting of Huron County Federation of Agrieul tore in %Clinton," Mrs. Eckmier said. "As a result we sent library boxes to three farm forums. We encouraged the farm forum groups to meet us at the nearest library -on -on our exchange trips to select books." "Last year each farm" forum library box contained twenty -live books;" Mrs. Eckmier said. "The books included thirteen fiction, five non-fiction and seven children's books. The charge for each box was +1 for three months. "The service will eventually, bring about desire for • more and better ser- vice,'' Mrs. Eckmier said. "As soon as we have housing for the county library we expect to start a reference ,library." "I heave seen people leave Farm Forum with their heads _buzzing with ideas, one little pamphlet in their hands and no place to get inform- ation," Angus Mowat, Richmond Hill, inspector of public libraries for On- tario, told the group. BEECHIE CASE • AGAIN IN COURT • Wife Renews Action to Have Bayfield . Man Declared Incompetent • LONDON, Ont., Oct. 21. -Bouncing back, iut.o court for at least the-favalfth, tient:.-: the _..questitara .of - the --•-competence ut James Albert Beechie, ex..ondon witting magnate, to control hib $£45,000 fortune, came before weekly lig Court here Saturday. Oddly enough, a motion to declare Beechie incompetent and.incapalile,was made before Supreme Court Justice D. P. J. Kelly, whoa little more than a year ago ,returned control of the forf'une 'to Beechie. The motion, made on- behalf of Beechie's wife, Kathleen Elizabeth, who gained control of the money in 1938 only to lose, it again in Jt}ne, 1945. was ad,ltiurned, for two weeks. Mr. Justice-' Kelly ordered the ad journment to enable service to be made upon brothers and sisters of Beechie and the public trustee. An affidavit froru Lr. A. McCaus- land, senior physician 'at the Ontario lluspitatl, was introduced, and it said Beechie ad been admitted to the in- stitution as a patient last mouth. This new chapter in the long .legal battle for control: of the fortune opened just a little more. than a year after Beechie., uses declared competent in a Supreme Court case at Goderich. The further executive of a milling company here and resident of Baylield lost control of the money to his wife, who was declared corihnlittee of the, estate by as court action in 1938. George L. Mitchell, who made the latest ,nhdt.iou on behalf of Beevhie's "wife, said Beechie tried in 1941 to upset the court decision, but teas un- successful. 11 estimated ,the present value of the fortune' at $85,000. A- [dramatic Climax to Beechie's seven-year• light to- regain control of the money came in Juno of last year when Justice Kelly handed him"back control. The smile year, an appeal against 'this, 'decision was carried to the On- tario Court of Appeal by his wife. It \vas quashed. When the matter first came into the count/ spotlight, Beechie estimated hit, holdings at $150,000. 'In 1941, the fortune :was said. 'to be vdrth $90,000.
